Beyond the desk

Settings, keys & plans

Every Settings page, every shortcut, and what Free and Personal include.

Settings

The gear at the bottom of the right rail, or ⌘,. Settings stays open until you press Done or Esc; a click outside does not close it.

AgentsWhich agents appear in the + menu and in what order (the first is the default), their versions and quota, install links for the missing ones, and CUSTOM AGENTS. See Set up an agent
GeneralAppearance (System, Light or Dark); the two kinds of notification, Needs you and Just finished; the worktree folder; and how many idle minutes before an agent sleeps (0 is never)
KeysEvery shortcut, and rebinding them (below)
IntegrationsWhether the GitHub CLI is installed and signed in, with a button that does the next step in the sidebar terminal
AccountYour plan, and signing in or out
AboutYour version and Check for updates, with links to the site, these docs, the changelog, Report a bug, Request a feature and email

If macOS has notifications turned off for Kumo, General says so and has a button straight to the right place in System Settings. An app cannot grant itself that permission.

Each project also has its own settings, the gear on its title row: the base branch new branches fork from, and where its worktrees go. See Projects & Workspaces.

Remote Control has no page here. Pairing is the phone icon in the right rail, see Remote Control.

Keyboard shortcuts

⌘,Settings
⌘.Interrupt the current turn
⇧⌘OImport Project
⇧⌘NNew Workspace
⌘NNew Agent
⌘WClose the current tab
⇧⌘RReopen Agent
⌃⇥ / ⌃⇧⇥Next / previous tab
⌘1–⌘9Jump to a tab
⌘← ⌘→ ⌘↑ ⌘↓Split the focused pane
⌘F / ⌘⇧FFiles: search names / contents
⌘GGit
⌘TTerminal
⇧⌘TTask panel
⌘BSidebar
⌘LFocus the composer

In the terminal, ⌘T and ⌘W open and close terminal tabs, ⌘1–⌘9 jump between them, ⌘F finds, ⌘K clears, and ⌘+ ⌘− ⌘0 set the font size. In any dialog, Enter presses the solid button and Esc closes it; red buttons always need a real click.

Rebinding. Settings → Keys lists every command by group. Click a row and press the new combination; Esc cancels, ⌫ unbinds. If the key is taken, it tells you by what before you take it, and the old owner becomes unbound rather than silently swapped. Moving focus between split panes has commands too, unbound until you give them keys.

A few rules hold everywhere:

  • In a text field, only combinations with a modifier count, so typing never triggers one.
  • macOS editing keys win. ⌘← and friends still move to the start or end of the line while you are typing, so the split shortcuts work when the cursor is not in a text field. Record ⌘⌥ arrows if you want to split while typing.
  • Some keys belong to macOS and cannot be recorded: ⌘Q ⌘C ⌘V ⌘X ⌘A ⌘Z ⇧⌘Z ⌘M ⌘H.
  • Destructive commands ship unbound. Closing a Workspace already asks for confirmation; a key for it saves one click and risks a folder.

Plans

Until 1 November 2026, everything is free and unlocked, with no account. After that there are two plans:

FreePersonal
Projects3Unlimited
Workspaces per project3Unlimited
Agents open at once5Unlimited
Agentflows1, one run at a timeUnlimited
Remote Control—Up to 2 phones

Prices are on the pricing page.

Limits only stop new things. Nothing that is already open closes when a plan ends: your projects, Workspaces and running agents carry on, and only the next one past the limit is refused, with a note saying which limit. Kumo never stops a running agent over a plan. Remote Control is the exception, since it needs the relay: without Personal, it says Subscription ended.

Your account

Free needs no account. To use Personal, sign in from Settings → Account with GitHub, Google or your email. The sign-in finishes in your browser and brings you back to Kumo. Your plan follows your account to every Mac you sign in on, up to five; manage them, your subscription and billing at account.amkumo.com.

  • After paying, the plan catches up within a minute of bringing Kumo to the front or opening Settings → Account.
  • Offline, a paid plan keeps working for seven days without checking in.
  • If you remove a Mac from your account on the web, that Mac says This Mac was signed out from your account. Nothing running on it stops.

Signing out only affects this Mac.
